Plot

The Professor dreams he had made three normal little girls after realizing all of his successes are mere accidents.

Synopsis

When The Professor makes lunch, it turns out to be sloppy joes when they were supposed to be hamburgers. So, the girls tell him that he made another great accident. The Professor asks them what they mean and they tell him that all of his successful inventions (including themselves) were created by accident. They also explain how anything he created on purpose always fails spectacularly. Shocked and ashamed when he realizes he's never invented anything good while trying to, Professor Utonium goes down to the lab to create something on purpose. However, he accidentally falls asleep. He dreams that he had followed the recipe correctly and created normal little girls. In his fantasy, the girls went under different names (with Blossom being named Bertha, Bubbles being named Beatrice, and Buttercup being named Betty.) The narrator eventually says: and Bertha, Beatrice, and Betty have dedicated their lives to hanging around and doing nothing extraordinary! Townsville was constantly being attacked by hideous monsters and the girls were incapable of doing simple things, e.g. opening the Mayor's jar of pickles. In the end, the Professor likes himself just the way he is, an accidental professor.

Trivia

General

Although the girls appear, none of them are the main characters. Instead, that role applies to the Professor.

The physical appearances of the Run-Of-The-Mill-Girls are based on redesigns that Craig McCracken briefly considered for the Powerpuff Girls in response to negative reactions from test audiences for the What A Cartoon! pilots.

When Beatrice answers the phone, the mayor asks if it's Bubbles. This means that despite the Professor not creating them, the Powerpuff Girls must still exist in this dream.
